As a few of us said in the CB, you're likely suffering from the ftp-data port being blocked (incoming to your web server), combined with the FTP server not implementing PASV. If that's true nothing you change in your code will make it work.

Even if your desktop PC receives ftp-data connections OK, that's no reason to believe that your network administrator has allowed the same for the web server.

Either have your network administrator sort it out, or use another protocol. (eg: scp, webdav, rsync, etc)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
